New drug aficamten shows better results than metoprolol in treating hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
Aficamten, a new drug for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), showed significant improvements in exercise capacity over the standard treatment, metoprolol, in a recent study.
The Phase 3 trial, called MAPLE-HCM, found that aficamten increased peak oxygen uptake by 1.1 mL/kg/min, while metoprolol decreased it by 1.2 mL/kg/min.
The results suggest aficamten could be a more effective treatment for HCM, and the drug is currently under review by the FDA with a decision expected by December 26, 2025.
